IBS-400 (Rifaximin) is a “gut-selective” antibiotic used for various gastrointestinal conditions. Because it stays in the gut and does not spread throughout the body, it has a very low risk of systemic side effects.
It is clinically effective for:
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Diarrhea (IBS-D): Helps reduce bloating, abdominal pain, and stool frequency by balancing gut bacteria.
-
Traveler’s Diarrhea: Effectively treats infections caused by non-invasive strains of E. coli.
-
Hepatic Encephalopathy: Used to reduce the risk of brain function decline in patients with advanced liver disease by lowering ammonia-producing bacteria in the gut.
Key Benefits
-
Targeted Action: Works specifically in the intestines where the problem exists.
-
Minimal Side Effects: Low absorption into the blood means fewer body-wide reactions.
-
Reduces Bloating: Highly effective in managing the bacterial overgrowth associated with IBS.
-
Travel Essential: Rapidly controls diarrhea caused by contaminated food or water.
-
Trusted Quality: High pharmaceutical standards maintained by DH.
